Bollywood’s Scariest Movie on Amazon Prime India
1. Tumbbad
A tale of a little boy who had a personal catastrophe. Later, he meets a shabby lady who claims to know where a buried treasure is hidden, which leads him down the path of greed. Later, he sets out to investigate the local legend of Hastar, a monster with gold medallions.
This movie is a fusion of horror and fantasy, where it showcases how lust and greed make a monster out of an ordinary man.
2. 13B
Manohar, a regular guy, and his family moved into a new flat on the 13th floor. Later, he notices a strange series of events and is disturbed by a television show in which the spirits attempt to communicate.
Thrilling plots and suspense are scarier than horrid faces, and this movie offers just that. And with the stirring plot twist, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat throughout the movie.
3. Bhoot- The Haunted Ship
Prithvi, a bereaved shipping officer, takes up the mission to unravel the truth of the haunted ship. What could go wrong?
A gripping storyline that is not based on typical Bollywood horror movies, where the ‘ghost’ is living in a lone house. But in a ship where you will spill the popcorns with all the jump-scares and plot games.
4. Pari
Arnab, a kind-hearted man, rescues Ruksana, who seemed to be traumatised. Nowhere to go, he offers her shelter. But later, things unravel and he learns of the conspiracies and mysteries of things that are better left alone.
A story, where pari gets a really twisted and nasty meaning; and is no longer a beautiful creature with wings and magic.
5. 1920
Arjun falls in love with Lisa and marries her, abandoning his family and faith. They move into an elegant mansion, where Lisa senses an unnatural presence. When she gets possessed, Arjun must prove his love and save her.
One of the best horror movies that can give me nightmares even today (no jokes, but that’s just me being a weak-hearted coward though). However, it’s a must-watch horror movie on amazon prime.

7. The Wretched
When a young boy is dealing with his parents’ impending divorce, he comes across a witch who has possessed his next-door neighbour.

8. Insidious
Josh and Renai, an ordinary couple, move into their new house for a fresh start. However, their son Dalton mysteriously falls into coma, and some paranormal happenings take place.
Insidious perfectly used the concept of jump-scare, tension, and creepy atmosphere to create genuinely frightening moments. These scenes are creepy enough to crawl under your skin and leave you to wake through the night.
